Integration of high performance copper inductors with bond pads

ABSTRACT

Integration of high performance copper inductors are provided wherein a tall, Cu laminate spiral inductor is formed at the last metal level, and at the last metal+1 level, with the metal levels being interconnected by a bar via having the same spiral shape as the spiral metal inductors at the last metal level and the last metal+1 level. The invention provides methods for integrating the formation of thick inductors with the formation of bond pads, terminals and interconnect wiring with the last metal+1 wiring. The subject invention uses dielectric deposition, spacer formation, and/or selective deposition of a passivating metal such as CoWP, to passivate a Cu inductor that is formed after the last metal layer.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to integration of high performance copper (Cu) inductors with bond pads, and more particularly pertains to integration of high performance copper inductors with global interconnects, and with either Al bond pads or Cu bond pads, where the Cu for the inductor and the global interconnects is defined by a resist pattern above the chip passivation layer. In addition, the inductor can be fabricated by superposing the adjacent wiring layers or levels to form a laminate inductor, with the metal levels being interconnected by a bar via.

Copper inductors are being used increasingly in RF integrated circuits. The performance of a Cu inductor is maximized by maximizing the thickness of the Cu. This can be achieved by plating a thick Cu layer (>5 um) inside a resist mask.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to passivate thick Cu inductors, wherein passivation serves as a diffusion barrier to protect Cu from corrosion. If the Cu inductor is formed below the last metal level (i.e. the last metal layer before the chip passivation layer), then planarization of subsequent metal levels is difficult and/or expensive. If the Cu inductor is formed at or above the last metal level, then passivation of the Cu is difficult. Typically, the last metal layer is passivated with Si3N4 and SiO2 layers, which are deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), to prevent contaminants from diffusing into the transistors and wiring in the chip. However, the conformality of CVD films is not adequate to passivate thick Cu inductors. In addition, the processes used to form the inductor and the inductor passivation must not damage the bond pads.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

The present invention provides integration of high performance copper inductors with global interconnects, and with either Al bond pads or Cu bond pads, where the Cu for the inductor and the global interconnects is defined by a resist pattern above the chip passivation layer. In addition, the inductor can be fabricated by superposing the metal layer above the passivation with underlying metal wiring layers or levels to form a laminate inductor, with the metal levels being interconnected by a bar via, and-having the same spiral shape as the spiral metal inductors at each metal level in the inductor stack.

The present invention provides a method for passivating thick Cu inductors separately from the chip passivation. In addition, the present invention provides methods for integrating thick inductors with bond pads, terminals and interconnect wiring using the metal layer above the chip passivation.

The subject invention uses dielectric deposition, spacer formation, and/or selective deposition of a passivating metal such as CoWP, to passivate a Cu inductor that is formed after the last metal layer. In addition, the process is integrated with the formation of bond pads, terminals and interconnect wires.

The advantages of the present invention include:

-   -   the ability to use high performance Cu inductors with minimal         additional processing;     -   the formation of passivation over Cu inductors formed after the         last metal layer;     -   the Cu used for the inductors can also be used as a last metal+1         wiring layer or for raised bond pads and for interconnect         wiring;     -   process is compatible with raised Al bond pads or recessed Cu         bond pads.
